Under the campaign, which will run till August 15, the central government has urged people to hoist or display the Tricolour in their homes from August 13 to 15 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of independence.

A citizen, a private organisation or an educational institution may hoist or display the National Flag on all days and occasions. The government has also amended the Flag Code of India to allow the Tricolour to be displayed in the open and on individual houses or buildings without any time restrictions.

The programme envisages inspiring Indians everywhere to hoist the national flag at their homes. The aim of the programme is to make the relationship with the national flag a more personal one rather than just keeping it formal or institutional.
